You are using Claude Code to accelerate software development. Your team uses it for code generation, refactoring, debugging, and documentation. You need to integrate it into your development workflow with custom slash commands, CLAUDE.md configurations, and understand when to use plan mode vs direct execution.

You're tasked with adding real-time updates to the application. This could be implemented using WebSockets, Server-Sent Events, or polling, each with different complexity, browser support, and infrastructure requirements.

What's the most effective way to begin this task?
